Does anyone know that German Nazi forces infiltrated South America?

Germany also infiltrated South America during World War II. After World War II, South America became a holy place for German war criminals to escape, so that the military uniforms of some countries in South America look very similar to Nazi Germany in World War II today. Here is a story about Nazi Germany in South America.

Throughout the 1930s, the Argentine regime alternated between military dictators and fraudulently elected presidents. Argentina has close ties with Europe in race (more than 93% of the population is white), culture, politics and economy, and its military government even strengthened its ties with Franco in the name of restoring the old "Spanish Cross Sword Alliance". Some even called for the abolition of independence and the re-dispatch of the governor from Spain as the ruler of Argentina. Egged on by the Vatican, the Argentine military government and church also dreamed of establishing a Spanish Catholic country in South America to compete with the United States. Adrian Escobar, Argentine ambassador to Spain, was ordered to hold talks with German and Vatican officials to discuss cooperation. After meeting with Cardinal Maggioni, Secretary General of the Vatican Office, he reached an agreement that once the war is over, Argentina will implement a more relaxed new immigration law, thus paving the way for Nazi dignitaries to flee from the Vatican to Argentina at the end of the war.

After the outbreak of World War II, Argentina was divided into two camps: the government, soldiers and big capitalists supported the Nazis, and the people supported the Allies. As soon as the European war broke out, the weak acting president Ramon Castillo declared neutrality. Although the Argentine Congress has approved resolution Havana 1940-an attack on any country in the western hemisphere is regarded as an invasion of all American countries, it still insists on neutrality after the Pearl Harbor incident and refuses to declare war on Germany and Japan. The Argentine government is convinced that Germany will win and control Europe, so it is very important to maintain good relations with it. Even after two Argentine merchant ships were sunk by German submarines at the beginning of 1942, they were determined to maintain friendly relations with them. In return, Germany not only compensated Argentina for its losses, but also promised that the German navy would ensure the safety of Argentine ships as long as they informed them of their sailing routes and time.

1942 65438+ 10, the member countries of the organization of American States held a meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to discuss the wartime policies of countries in the western hemisphere. After the meeting, the Rio de Janeiro Agreement was adopted, and the signatories promised to break off diplomatic relations with the Axis countries, declare war, and freeze and confiscate the assets of the Axis countries. In return, the United States will provide weapons, military and economic assistance to these countries under the Lending Act. Argentina did not sign the agreement. It was not until 1942 at the American Economic and Financial Control Conference held in Washington, D.C., that Argentina ostensibly terminated all commercial activities with the Axis countries and secretly traded with the Nazis.

Argentina's false neutrality remained until1June 4, 943, and then it turned to the Nazis without hesitation. At the strong demand of the people, President Castillo was forced to hold a referendum on whether Argentina would join the western hemisphere defense system and declare war on the Axis countries. Nazis, spearmen, officers and landlords immediately launched a "colonel coup" against the June 4 referendum. As soon as these colonels came to power, they bought arms from Germany against Brazil. By September 1943, they turned to seek an alliance with the Nazis and sent special envoys to Spain to negotiate with Nazi officials. The American anti-intelligence agency intercepted the communication between Johan Backer, the head of the Argentine Nazi secret service, and Walter Schulenburg, the head of the SS security service, and immediately informed the British Navy that it had intercepted the passenger ship of the Argentine messenger in Trinidad. However, the Allies failed to stop the colonels from further plotting: Peron and Baker continued to plot to overthrow the governments of neighboring countries in order to establish a pro-Nazi alliance in South America. Peron once wrote in a secret declaration: "... we have Paraguay, Bolivia and Chile. Coupled with Argentina, it is easy to put pressure on Uruguay. Five united countries can easily defeat Brazil. Brazil's political system and its large number of German immigrants are also favorable factors. After bringing Basila in, the American continent is in our hands. "

During the war, due to the cooperation of the Argentine government, most German companies in Argentina handed over their profits to local Nazi spy organizations as their activities funds. The U.S. Treasury also suspected that Argentina "cleaned" a large amount of foreign exchange for the Axis countries, received a large amount of currency and securities plundered by the Nazis, and made them enter the American market. Argentina was also a supplier to the Nazis. Although commodities such as wheat and beef are easily intercepted by allies, small-scale smuggling, such as industrial diamonds and platinum that Germany urgently needs, continues to flow from Argentina to Germany. After Pearl Harbor, morgenthau wanted to freeze Argentine assets immediately. 1942 In May, he submitted evidence to President Roosevelt, indicating that many Argentine companies were providing cover for German funds in the United States and bringing Nazi funds worth more than100000 dollars into the United States to legalize them. However, it was not until June 1942 that Roosevelt agreed to freeze the selected Argentine accounts in the State Council. More than 150 Argentine companies and individuals have been blacklisted in the State Council.

1943 65438+On February 20th, an attempted military coup took place in Uruguay. The United States found out the Argentine black hand by intercepting and deciphering the information sent back to China by German agents. The United States threatened to publish these materials, expel Argentina from the Organization of American States and impose sanctions on it. Under such threats, Argentina was forced to give in and broke off diplomatic relations with Germany on 1944 and 1. However, Argentina has remained neutral ever since. In the last few years of the war, Argentina was Bowman's main destination for hiding Nazi property, and it was also the main refuge of Nazi war criminals after the war.

The negotiation of "Safe Harbor Plan" between the United States and Arab countries began at 1944, but it was greatly restricted by the tension between the two countries. 1944 In February, due to the scandal that overthrew the Uruguayan and Bolivian regimes, General Ramirez, the Argentine military president, was forced to resign and handed over power to General Farrell, with Peron as the vice president. The United States announced that it would not recognize Farrell's government and recalled its ambassador to Argentina. On August 5th, Argentine Foreign Minister wrote a long letter to American Secretary of State Hull, saying that he was not prepared to change his foreign policy, because "breaking off relations with the Axis countries facing failure is not in line with Argentine chivalry". In his letter, he also tried to share the arms aid of the American lend-lease act, and Hull seized this opportunity to humiliate Argentina in his reply. /kloc-in August of 0/6, all the gold deposited by Argentina in the United States was frozen. In September, American merchant ships were banned from sailing to Argentine ports. In response, Argentina withdrew from the western hemisphere defense system and its central bank stopped assisting the United States in investigating Nazi property.

After the tough Hull resigned as Secretary of State due to illness, his successor, Stedding News, adopted a more moderate policy towards Argentina. Nelson rockefeller, Assistant Secretary of State for Latin American Relations, also supports the moderate line. It is worth noting that it was the Rockefeller family's bank that illegally absorbed a large amount of Nazi funds from Argentina during the war, and it was nelson rockefeller's Mobil Oil Company that transported a large amount of oil to Germany through Spain.

1February 7, 945, morgenthau suggested that Joseph C. Grew, the acting secretary of state, send a special delegation to Argentina to find and confiscate Nazi assets there. Gru rejected the proposal for political reasons. 1945 At the beginning of the year, at the meeting of the Organization of American States (OAS) held in Chapu Capec, Mexico, American countries (except Argentina) adopted a resolution recognizing the freedom of countries to dispose of their Nazi property. Argentina was excluded from this meeting because it continued to support Nazi Germany. It was not until a month before Hitler committed suicide that Argentina reluctantly declared war on Germany because it realized that it was isolated by other countries in the western hemisphere, especially that the United States was prepared to take more severe sanctions.

On May 22nd, 1946, members of the "Safe Harbor Project" reported that the assets of Germans in Argentina were about 200 million US dollars, including bank deposits, real estate and various goods, but no hiding places of artworks and treasures were found. They mistakenly believe that Argentina is not the main hiding place of Nazi stolen goods. In addition, although the United States was informed of the illegal currency transaction between Argentina and Germany as early as 1942, the report said that there was no evidence that Argentina received Nazi gold. 1in April, 942, the American consul in Switzerland reported that an Argentine diplomat smuggled dollars looted by the Nazis back to China for sale, and then remitted the cash to Switzerland. British intelligence agencies also found out the close trade between Argentina and Switzerland in 1944, and often used gold as a means of payment. 1947 In May, the Central Bank of Argentina planned to transfer17 billion US dollars of gold to its Federal Reserve account, but later it postponed the plan for fear that the United States would trace the source of gold. After Peron regained power in 1973, he put his 400 tons of gold on the black market. The code name of the goods in Peron is "Bowman 1345", and the buyer is the Spanish government. Salespeople naturally associate commodities with politics. But no one has traced the ultimate source of gold.

Due to the cold war, the "Safe Harbor Plan" also ended in Argentina. 1On June 3, 947, President Truman and the Ambassador of Argentina issued a joint statement: the two countries will renegotiate with other Latin American countries to establish a new mutual assistance treaty organization. 1947 In September, Argentina joined the Treaty of Rio de Janeiro, an American treaty of mutual assistance, and Bowman's hidden companies and treasures in Argentina were safely preserved. At this time, the main goal of the western hemisphere in the United States is to contain capitalism, and Nazi war criminals and Nazi gold are no longer in charge. Although Argentina's gold reserves grew rapidly and a large number of Nazi war criminals were hiding in them, investigators did not "find" direct evidence that Argentina obtained a large amount of Nazi gold until half a century later.
